Getting Started

In order to use PatternLab you need to initialize a PatternLab project with patternlab init. The CLI will ask you some setup question and scaffold your project based on it.
Build your patterns use patternlab build. The PatternLab CLI will assume that the patternlab-config.json is in the project root. Othewise specify a custom path to config with patternlab build --config path/to/config
To view your patterns in the browser preview patternlab serve or again specify a custom config location patternlab serve --config path/to/config
To export your patterns in the browser preview patternlab export or again specify a custom config location patternlab export --config path/to/config
